What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Batter UP!


Frankly, Carianne, I don't think I can top the genius of the pun that is 'batter up', so I'll just quit while I'm ahead.

PS: Take that, Failblog.

OMG. Those are the most phallic looking "bats" I have EVER seen. Truly. Somebody didn't even try NOT to make them look like penises.

Hmmm, a wang and a turd....who WOULDN'T want that cake?!?

Well at least they didn't try to ice the 'bats' in wood tones. 'Cause we all know how that would look.

RECIPE FOR A WRECK
ingrediens: poop, phalluses, poop phalluses, ccc (ptooey), puntastic label, baseball 'diamond', and two balls.
Bake at 350 for 25 minutes, serves 12 uncomfortable looking people standing at arms length from the table, whipering to eachother, "is it just me, or...?"

So instead of diamonds, we've had triangles and ovals. Now a CLOVER? are you kidding me? This is supposed to pass as a baseball cake? oh wreckerators, you've got to be kidding.

Not to mention the wonky bats are a little phallic, especially since they are so much smaller than the balls! scale, anyone?

The wonky CCC clover of baseball despair!

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterjoanne

Penises made of poop. How appetizing!

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLI Laura

Oh my goodness. The...bats, I guess they're supposed to be? The one on the left looks like male genitalia, and the one on the right looks like...umm...

Wrong on so many levels.

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAlbatross

I can deal with the suggestive "bats." But why do they have to put the word "moistest" on the box? I hate that word. It's up there among the worst words ever, along with "sixths."

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterTaylor@myolderbrothers

oh.

dear.

lord.

i'm blushing and it takes a lot nowadays to accomplish that!

wish i could think of some clever baseball/sexually-related innuendo to insert here. but i'm hard pressed to think of one.

this wreck is definitely a home run!

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterTerry Lee

Let's see, what's wrong with this cake?
- it's a CCC (ptooie!)
- it doesn't look much like a baseball diamond
- the "bats" are poopy-looking
Need I go on?
FAIL on many, many levels.

WV - legrin: What a French person has on their face when they're happy.

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterStephanie

At least it's moist.

hehehe

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMorgan

The combination of "decoration," your pun, and the label reading "The Moistest Cake You've Ever Tasted" - I don't think I could make myself eat this, even if the alternative was the coiled-poo-hound cake.

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMartin

Poo bats! GREAT!

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered Commentereilbeback

It's moist because nothing can get through the wall of icing >_<

WV: extert. "Put some extert icing on that cupcake monstrosity, we don't want it drying out!"

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterOphelia

Oh good, a poo penis lying in a bed of grass. It's a hit!

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSadie Potts

Is "moistest" even a word? It just sounds weird...

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterChickyChica

A misshapen four-leaf clover with baseballs and poo-flavored dog bones*-- if that doesn't turn out to be the moistest (?) cake I've ever tasted, I'll want to know the reason why.

* Yes, I know that the dog bone on the left is subject to another interpretation, but please don't tell me about it.

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterGary

Holy chocolate penis, batman!

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAmanda Mac

I'm sorry, that 'thing' on the left is surely NSFW.

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Oh. my. goodness.

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterPiccadilly

What worries me most is that it's "The moistest cake you'll ever taste!".

Ew.

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMo

Can't. Stop. Laughing!!!!

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

For me, the best part about this is the label reading "The moistest cake you've ever tasted". It just leaves too many disturbing thoughts goign through my brain. Out damned thoughts, out I say!

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAlexandra

Left over from Saint Paddy's Day too! Yum Yum!

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMother (Re)produces.

Not to mention "The moistest cake you've ever tasted!" Pretty suggestive, too.

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLian

I was looking on in horror until I saw the "the moistest cake you ever tasted!" and cracked up!

Really, why would you put that out for sale!

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAmanda M.

Oh good lord! Where to begin...I'm with Becky on this one.

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterBeth

hmmm those shapes are definitely not bat like and more like phallus's or even turds.... so funny tho.

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSage

.....poopdick

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMiranda

Oh the joy Cakewrecks brings each morning.

I think this cake is positively influencing my diet plans as it's made me a little sick to my stomach.

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterTrista

OOHH Poo and Penis on a mutant shamrock leaf! I dread to think why its moist...

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterdiddleymaz

That one on the left just CAN'T be an accident. It looks nothing like a baseball bat, and everything like a penis. I think some grocery store's been cake wrecks-baiting!

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterBrandy

I *love* that it says "moistest cake you have ever tasted".

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterRachel McPhillips

Yeah, I bet it's the moistest cake you've ever tasted too, for all the wrong reasons.

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSabrina

Looks like bases on balls.

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDIana

I'm so glad to find out that I'm not the only one that sees those "bats" as highly inappropriate! jajajajaja

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDeray

Um, there is totally a pee pee on that cake made of poop. Hahahahahahahaa

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterHorribleLicensePlates

::snort::

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMegz

OMG - Miranda, I was already howling about the cake and the comments until I read your take on poopdeck - then I lost it and tears started streaming!!!

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterCarey

That is definitely a penis. That's an on-purpose penis.

It's "Hammer and Penis," the new flag of Belarus.

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDeborah

The "bat" on the right looks like something in my cat's litter box...ewwwww!

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAngela

those browns thing DO NOT LOOK LIKE BATS!!! WTH!

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

No, no, don't give me one from the sides, I'll take one of the balls inst . . . um, actually, I'm just not very hungry right now.

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterCharles CĂ©leste Hutchins

At least they were resourceful in recycling their St. Pat's Shamrock cake in time for baseball season (or maybe a little early?) Lucky it was green so they could make it "sporty."

Judging by the scale of "bat" v. ball, it could have been leprauchan-inspired. Right, Tiny?

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

ugh, poo-....oh, Lord, I can't go on; this is a family-friendly page. I have to go gargle my eyeballs now.

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterFlartus

A phallic poop on a green cake labelled moist...I'll just have a dry biscuit instead if that's OK...

(I think I just cleared up a couple of those 'bats' while walking my dogs.....)

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterCaroline B

Yep, I see peepees and doody.

wv: expolin
This wreckorator's got some expolin to do!

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLulubelle B

Oh, my goodness. I can't believe the decorator couldn't see that!

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterEnchantedFairyJJ

Well, at least there are 2 balls...

November 19, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterHeather

Hey Jen, I'd just like to say that I have enjoyed Cakewrecks since the moment I found. I remember the first day of looking through your archives a laughing for a good 2 hours minimum. And while there were some inappropriate cakes, but usually they were very mild and you took care to give us a heads up before showing the picture, I just simply glossed over them, but lately it seems unfortunate that these even more disgusting cakes seem to be becoming the general rule, and I don't find them very funny.
